Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

I'm sorry I cannot make it -- too much already going on in October. However, I would like to send some DVi swag to you guys. I could ship a box directly to the venue to someone's attention... Kevin or Trond perhaps.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Sorry you can't make it, Chris. Would have been nice to meet you too.
Shipping to me or Kevin should be fine. We will be staying at the same hotel. Another option (depending of the size and weight of the package), would be to send it to one of us in advance.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Either way works fine. Might be cheaper to ship to me in Iowa and I can throw it in my bag on the flight over

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Geir,

Sorry you're not going to be able to make it.
We will have a beer in your honor! :)

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Chris, if you would rather send it in advance to a UK address rather than risk a hotel losing it
I would be happy to receive and take it along as I will be there over the entire period. Mick

Edit
Sorry Kevin, missed your post about sending to you which is probably the best way if it does not put you over your weight allowance

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Thanks fellows, this will be a few small NAB give-away items times the five or six of you. I'll look into the cost of shipping directly to Mick and if it's prohibitive then I'll ask Kevin for the cross-pond assist. I know how much of a premium luggage space can be for overseas travel though. Much appreciated,

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Whatever works best for you.
I'm hoping to pack light this trip but we'll see how well that works out! 😀

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

I say exactly that myself Kevin only my other half appears to think what weight I'm not carrying she can add to hers lol

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Trips to Montana I usually pack my big carbon fiber tripod with the Vinten head in my suitcase along with my heavy winter boots, parka etc.
I usually end up paying the overweight fee as well as an additions bag fee when I check my drone.

Hoping this is gonna be of a vacation than worrying about shooting any footage so I'll bring my little travel carbon fiber tripod and I don't think I need my boots that are made to work in the arctic circle! 😀

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Kevin, Ah, no arctic boots needed, just chest waders as the west country is renowned for its rain lol. I'll have all my gear with me so if you need anything just ask.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hopefully we'll have a couple days of sunshine!
Debating what I want to bring for gear.
Would love to do some low light sequences in the city if I get a chance

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Being centred around the old harbour area you should get some lovely lovely night scenes with reflections off the the water from the nearby lite up buildings.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Fantastic!
I see some of the festival schedule came out today.
Looks like some amazing films playing!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

missed that release will have to look for it

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hi,

Geir Inge , sorry to hear you are gonna miss it.

I am currently applying for my VISA if that happens i am there.

Is the schedule out for the week , i wasnt able to find it yet.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hope it allworks all works out well with the visa, Vishal. Looking forward to see you.

I haven't bought any tickets for the festival yet. I'll take it as it comes. Most important is to meet you guys, have a great time and hopefully do some filming while in Bristol too.
It will be fun!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hard to believe we're only about 7 weeks away!
Still time for more people to join us!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

The more the better. It will be great!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hi guys

Well I'm just back from my third Zambia trip and now I go into a an edit in Bristol for 5 weeks!!

Which means I will definitely be in the country and my importantly Bristol for Wildscreen.

Keep me posted on the get together arrangements. It would be great to catch up!

Mat

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Looking forward to see you, Mat!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

That's great news Mat!
Several of us are staying right across the street from Watershed

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Finally i am in , got my Visa yesterday.

Will be at The Clifton Hotel.

Lets see who all are now going to come , list it out and may be make a communication group on Whatsapp or something similar, so that we can communicate with full group when there , may help only a suggestion.

Very excited to be able to meet you all in person, also to meet Cees as he is my Inspiration . Just super excited.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Looking forward to see you, Vishal.

The whatsapp group communication is a great idea.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Yes Trond,
Since the schedule of the week is being released and updated we can decide on what all we would attend , it may be a hectic week and from the time i left my day job Hectic is a word thats been missing from all around :)

All please check out the weeks program so that we can decide what all we want to attend from this
Wildscreen Festival 2016 Programme

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Regarding the whatsapp idea, I believe we need each other's phone numbers.

How about everyone email me through the forum with their numbers amd then I send a mail back to everyone of you with everyone's number? Or is there an easier way?
Then we can make the group Vishal suggested.

Notice: I am still waiting for Chris to give me the new password for the uwol email, so we can't use that one for now.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Another option would be to use facebook instead of whatsapp.
What do you guys think?

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Trond,

Both may work depending upon how many use them .

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Probably Facebook messenger best, assuming all attending will have internet access on their phone, tablet etc, Hotels will be ok for free wifi as well as the watershed and most other venues used. Not long now

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Sure, we can use fb messenger. Whichever is best for you guys.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Mick, Vishal and Mat:

Are you guys on facebook? If we should use facebook messenger for communication, how do I find you there, so I could set up a chat group?

If anyone else is planning to join us in Bristol, please post it here.
So far I have Kevin, Hege, Vishal, Mick and Mat on my list.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Hi Trond, I'm on FB as Michael Jenner. If you search FB you should find me and can then send a friend request. My profile picture is that of my wife and granddaughter!

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Sent you a friend request, Mick.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Its gonna be a interesting even, meeting some of the UWOL members would be so much fun.

I registered for the Attenborough interview, finally i would be able to see the man i have heard for so many years and that too in person, i am absolutely ecstatic .
Guess the booking of it got over in a hour or so, no doubt there would be so many folks who would love to attend this one for sure.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

I texted Karina as soon as they opened up registration so that we both could go.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

How many of you total now? Is it six? Or seven?

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

I think like 8 if you count Mat and significant others

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Significant others! *slapping forehead* Of course! Thanks Kevin,

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

Haven't heard from Mat yet, but hopefully we find him anyway.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

What I have to send on to you folks is in two regular ziplock bags, and fairly light in weight. Just a question of whether Kevin has room to pack them or if I should ship directly to the UK.

Re: UWOL "get together" event 2016?
 

If you can get them to me on Thursday then go ahead and ship them to me. I'm leaving Friday so if it's not possible to get here by Thursday then ship then to the UK in care of the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel.

You can either make it to my attention since I'll be there Saturday or if it's cheaper make it to Trond's attention and ship it so it gets there like Monday or Tuesday.
